Default Found a kidney!

Bit personal this, so feel free to ignore ...

I've been poorly for a while now, with nasty pains and stuff in the abdomen and other things like first asthma attack.
I've had test after test, painkillers and that look, which says 'silly middle aged hypochondriac'. Last doctor said that if the pain was still there in 10 weeks they'd send me to the pain clinic but would also book me in for a scan, which would take 4-6 weeks.
Well, I'd had enough of it all so booked into me local private hospital for the scan - if only to give me peace of mind that I didn't have gallstones, cancer or ulcers.

I went this morning. Very nice, clean and quick. I explained to the nice doctor that I only had one kidney - a congenital condition diagnosed 28 years ago after suffering chronic kidney infections when I was pregnant. Dye based tests, verified by a teaching hopsital using me as an example, confirmed I only had the one.

This very nice doctor this morning found two kidneys - good size and fully functioning!

Bad news is I have ACNE - abdominal cutaneous nerve entrapement. They're trying some nerve ending drug but if that doesn't work I may need large injections into my somach muscles.

Funny old day really

Sounds like a long and odd day, hope the drugs work and large injections aren't needed.

Good luck Messie, although good news to have two working kidneys. Chronic pain is something I understand, feel free to drop me a mail if you want to have a chat Honey.
Hope that you feel much better very soon.
Hugs,

Wow, how wierd does it feel to know you have another kidney after all these years thinking you had only one?

Did it grow by itself over the years or just misdiagnosed to begin with, do you know?

Either way sweetie i totally sympathise, as you know i had that kidney stone a couple years ago so i know how painful it can be.
Hope those drugs work for you

hurrah for the kidney! you do know how much they're worth on the black market, don't you?

sorry to hear about the real problem though - is it just nerves, so "fake" pain (i know it hurts just as much) or is it there something causing it?

Lol the doctor was a bit surprised when I said that it hadn't really been a problem only having one. Most people have some, if minor problems.

Now I know all major organs are fine - if more numerous than I thought - some of the anxiety has gone. I'll try to be stoical (or resort to alcohol)

I think 'trapped nerves' pretty much sums it up, rather than 'in my head' lol

Spidey - I asked whether I had grown it over the years, which amused doc greatly, as it's just not possible. She suggested I could've had a kidney stone formed while pregnant, which caused the pain and infection. Then when I had the tests after laura was born it was still blocked and so looked like no kidney. She also said scaning techniques were not very sophisticated then!

Ah i see now. Funny cos all the docs kept telling me that having a kidney stone was as painful as childbirth...you just had them both at the same time...i wonder if you had double the pain or half as much as having them at seperate times.

Be cool if you'd grown it, as Ophic says you'd be worth a lot of money. A new type of golden goose if you will, lol.

Blimey! I know some people want two front teeth for christmas, but that's pushing the boat out!

Anyway, kidney-area pins are horribly hurty, so hope you feel much better very soon. xxxx
